As many of you know, I have been working with people on the JT for months now. With the release of the new T10 Tank Destroyers I will be moving on to the JagdPz E-100. As with the last thread, this thread is here to help drivers improve their game play with the JPE. So I welcome anyone to post questions, tips, tactics, best practices, and their JPE replays. Let's figure out how to best play this beast together.

Here are some videos as a preview of the JPE from the test server. Feel free to check them out.

good initiative,if wg does not help us buffing this TD, at least we can defend well for a month (until they buff it) if every one provide good tips, tactics, replays, equipment, better skills for crew, etc...

EDIT: why you provide a video shooting gold? 450 heat pen is auto pen, you cant snipe with this thing without gold, accuracy is poor. better we wait until the jpe100 come out and then we can upload replays and stuff

Yeah it is. I was impressed with it during the time I spent playing it on the test server.

I would say it is worth the grind. Not nesesarily for the destination but for the journey. The German TD's have so meny great machines along the way that it really is a fun line to go down.

I 100% agree. The German TD line is not the easiest line to master. However, once you do they are just awesome tanks to play.

Thanks, I am hoping to run this like the previous thread I was in for the JT. Let's all try to come up with best tactics, best equipment sets, crew skills, etc.

Looks like fun,these almost have wanting this over the E4 for my second tier 10 td

I am grabbing the JPE and the 268 on live. I was impressed with both of them on the test server.

Did i see that correctly!? around 1100 damage with the 17cm is beastly! That alone is worth the grind for me, cause just one hit will send some serious hurt to the enemy. And the TD seems pretty mobile as you were going 39km/h down that hill, and traverse didnt seem too bad. Just my $0.02

Forward speed not too bad. Traverse is terrible, worse than T95 if I am not mistaken. Gun traverse is bad. Camo is terribad. DPM is terribad. Rememeber, yes you will hit for 1000 + more often than the other TDs (they still do it too), but you do it 50% less often since they fire much faster than you. You have a little armor, but the lower hull and casemate itself are pretty easily penetrated by the big guns and regardless of what people think about the skirts, you are massively vulnerable to arty because of the camo and size and speed. No depression whatsoever.

It is like the old KVs. Maximum DERP! Slowwwwww reload.

20% less rate of fire would have been fair, but not 50%. Just too slow. It is not worth the 200 damage difference. Cannot even reverse angle to hide your lower hull because of traverse. T62 can take your hit and get beside you faster than you can say Jack Robinson. You are now a 70 ton roadblock about to die.

They should have had the option to mount an improved 15 cm from the E-100.

true, would have been nice to have a choice of the faster 15cm and the derpish 17cm. So the best way to play this td would be like a support vehicle??
